&gt; I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give 
yourself to it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe that Iures him to evil ways.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Don't keep searching for the truth, just let go of your opinions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it 
is.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual 
life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they 
do you if you do not act upon them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not 
considered a good man because he is a good talker.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the 
midst of abundance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love 
and affection.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what 
leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to 
wisdom.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild 
beast may wound your body but an evil friend will wound your mind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; In his ignorance of the whole truth, each person maintains his own arrogant 
point of view.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; He who experiences the unity of life sees his own self in all beings and all 
beings in his own Self and looks on everything with an impartial eye.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do 
believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of 
service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.&nbsp; Then the 
victory is yours.&nbsp; It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, 
heaven or hell.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least 
we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get 
sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes 
unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it? Each morning we are born again. What 
we do today is what matters most.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom 
is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man 
lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Let no sleep fall upon thy eyes till thou hast thrice re-viewed the 
transactions of the past day. Where have I turned aside from rectitude? What 
have I been doing? What have I left undone, which I ought to have done?&nbsp; Begin 
thus from the first act and proceed; and, in conclusion, at the ill which thou 
hast done, be troubled and rejoice for the good.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it 
at someone else; you are the one getting burned. In a controversy the instant we 
feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun 
striving for ourselves.&nbsp; Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of 
resentment are cherished in the mind.&nbsp; Anger will disappear just as soon as 
thoughts of resentment are forgotten.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Doubt everything. Find your own light. Do not believe in anything simply 
because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is 
spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is 
found written in your religious books.&nbsp; Do not believe in anything merely on the 
authority of your teachers and elders.&nbsp; Do not believe in traditions because 
they have been handed down for many generations.&nbsp;&nbsp; But after observation and 
analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the 
good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. It is 
fearlessness and it is love.</span></p>
